- VsCodeVim Version: 0.10.1

What happened: VSCode Select All Occurrences command (⇧⌘L on macOS) was performed on a selection. A cursor was created for each matching instance of the current word, but the cursors did not stay in Visual mode.

How to reproduce it: Create a file with multiple matching instances and perform the Select All Occurrences command.

Research direction
